Section 11. View
associated with a data file, View uses information from the file to provide label
names for the Data Panel column headings and Chart Panel traces. For more
information, refer to Section 11.2.3 on FSL files.
NOTE
Table Oriented ASCII (TOA) files do not use FSL files. The
data labels for each column of data is included as part of the data
file.
View can be run as a stand-alone program by double clicking the View.exe file
in Windows Explorer.
11.2.2 Opening Other Types of Files
To open a file that is not a data file (e.g., *.DLD, *.CSI, *.PTI, *.FSL, *.LOG,
icon or select File | Open As Text from the
*.CR5, or *.CR9) press the
menu. Files opened in this mode are not processed for time stamps, and thus
cannot be graphed or displayed in the tabular format.
A file opened in this mode can be viewed only in its original format or in hex
mode. The Array Selection, Array Definitions, Tab options, and Graph View
options do not work. This mode is most often used to open files other than data
files (or to quickly open data files, but without any of View's graphing or time
stamping capabilities). In Text Mode, data can be copied to the Windows
clipboard and pasted into other applications.
11.2.3 Final Storage Label (FSL) Files
A final storage label (FSL) file is created by Edlog when an array-based
datalogger program is compiled. It provides information about the output
tables in the program and the labels associated with each output instruction.
The information in this file is used by View for column headers and to assign
date and time values. To add or change an FSL file association, press the file
open icon to the right of the FSL File field and select the desired FSL file.
View uses information from the *.FSL file to provide label names for the Data
Panel column headings and Graph Panel traces. After choosing a data file from
File | Open, View will handle the FSL association in one of the following ways:
1) If an FSL file exists that has the same name as the data file, View
automatically uses that FSL file.
2) If no FSL file exists with the same name, View will prompt you to select an
FSL file. If you choose to select an FSL file, another file dialog box appears so
you can select the FSL file. If you choose not to select an FSL file, View will
still open the file. Selecting an FSL file allows column headers and time stamps
to be displayed.
3) If you have opened a file before, View keeps track of what option you chose
for the FSL the first time it was opened, and opens it with that FSL option. It
keeps this information for the last 50 files.
